Flute Fruit

pasitheaIt's so good to have my flute back in my life. I've been playing while walking to and from work. Finding I have a lot to relearn and I'm not yet anywhere near as good as I was before the accident and I stopped playing 17 years ago, but parts of it are finding their way back.
What I really need to do in the near future is spend some time learning to compose. I've got the basics of just noodling around until I find some little progression that I like and I understand staying in a key and mixing other things into the progression to keep it from getting too stale but right now, I do feel like I'm repeating my progressions a little too often and I could do a lot more to mix things up. Of course, since it's single instrument and impromptu, I can't really take breaks and let other instruments come to the forefront to solve this problem, so what I really need to do is compose my progressions into a complete song or I need to get out ye olde garage band and mix in some other instruments. Why not? I can play keyboard, guitar, and recorder as well.
It's all just a matter of practice and finding the time though, I suppose. Still. It's quite nice to have my flute back.
Here's a couple samples of progressions I've worked on.

Not as far along with this one (mostly because it's a lot harder to play) but it's definitely got some interesting bits in it, though I'm not fully convinced this isn't something I heard in a Shpongle track. :P
Untitled, unfinished
Opinions/suggestions/etc much appreciated. ... I don't know how to compose music. I could use any help I can get.
